"River's Still Running" is a song recorded by Canadian country group High Valley. The song was written by the band's frontman Brad Rempel with Corey Crowder and Randy Montana.[1] [2] It was the second single off their extended play Grew Up On That.[3]
Brad Rempel wrote the song with Corey Crowder and Randy Montana, shortly after Montana had scored a six-week Number One with Luke Combs' "Beer Never Broke My Heart". They wanted to write a "super positive song that your average country bumpkin could identify with, that was from a very backwoods, small town".[4]
Complete Country described the song positively, saying it "reminder to remain positive and appreciate the little things in life, like the sun rising and the river running" adding the "lyrics are spot on".
The official music video for "River's Still Running" premiered on January 22, 2021.[5] It features both Brad and Curtis Rempel of High Valley.[6]
